ambersnout spawns already buffed with the spell Ambersnout's Boiling Body spell info shown here http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/spell.html?spell=9166 it is not dispellable with ordinary dispell's, cannot be negated with cleric reverse damage shield spells, cannot be blocked by the shaman DS block Thorn Wilting... and also cannot be cured away with corruption cures... i tried them all, none took care of it.

Clearly another wise move by the developers... making an aug event that drops a quest piece for a popular charm more annoying.

We skipped it yesterday (our 2nd visit to AG west) and proceeded to beat up Sothgar's attendents. I guess we'll simply pass by Ambersnout every time for the next xx months that we're going to farm this zone. Was that what was intended by this nerf?

Since clerics got a viral reverse damage shield, it was that you could cast it on ambersnout then she would contract it to the other oozes as she popped them... Instead of them flagging ambersnout to not be able to have the cleric spell on it, they changed all mobs in the event. Therefore; as posted on the sony forums this went from ambersnout to ambersuck...

Ambersnout has a nasty DS on it. You can not remove it either. he also has a like caster reverse DS on it. So if you cast on him or hit him you will take damage.

During this event he will spawn oozes, clerics should take off the DS of so mellee can dps them. Also will spawn elementals on the second wave around. Do not cast on these have it be mellee only dps, for every cast on them you take damage. I made it a rule if a caster casted on the elementals I did not waste my mana healing them.

2 MA's again. Have 1 main MA being a caster. When elementals pop have the other MA call mellee's to the elemental. There is a stone guardian that can also spawn. Just normal dps on these nothing fancy.

Now as you kill these adds ambersnout's hps will go down. At 5% ambersnout will start attacking people in the raid, he hits hard and fast, kill the adds and you kill him.
